Dr. Nakeitra L. Burse
Dr. Nakeitra Burse established Six Dimensions, LLC in an effort to strategically respond to the health needs of communities. As a native Mississippian, she is well aware of the impact of poor health on the environment, the economy, and the overall quality of life of individuals and communities. She is also acutely aware of the impact that systems have on individual and community health. Dr. Burse has been entrenched in public health for over 10 years, earning a BS in Biological Sciences and an MS in Health Education/Health Promotion both from Mississippi State University. She also holds a Doctorate in Public Health from Jackson State University.
Dr. Burse’s previous work in public health includes experience in the nonprofit sector, state agencies, and academia. These positions have allowed her the opportunity to view public health from various angles, understand the impact of unjust and inequitable systems on community health, acknowledge the importance of policy in health, and develop solutions to respond to the immediate and critical health needs of our communities. As a result, Six Dimensions, LLC was born to create strategic, sustainable, and innovative solutions to public health with a focus on health equity and social justice.
In her early career, Dr. Burse was a personal trainer and bootcamp instructor and she still enjoys fitness activities, but without the pressure of teaching. Dr. Burse loves traveling and spending time with her husband and two sons. She also enjoys learning and trying new hobbies such as crafting on the Cricut Maker.
